This Old Tony https://www.youtube.com/user/featony

He is an amateur machinist with incredible skills AND editing talent. I hope you like his sens of humour :)

My favorite channel since about a year is Foresty Forest (https://www.youtube.com/user/forestyforest). Living vanlife vicariously through his videos, while I wouldn't want to commit to it in real life.

As a fan of mid-century furniture I also enjoy this restoration channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDVK2t-ttSjXHnGejDvVm1g, although I mostly have it on in the background while I do something else.

I started to watch shoe shine videos to lull me to sleep ever since the lockdown in March.

https://www.youtube.com/c/JasonDornstar/videos

I keep a Google Document of these to share just in case people ask about my YouTube interests.

Am I the only one who does not subscribe to a single youtube channel on any of my accounts?

My theory is that once you've watched a few of the videos you're interested in, the YouTube algorithm curates a list for me which I can continue watching. I do not want to be notified or otherwise informed of every video a channel publishes.

I am watching PewDiePie because he is fun and I am learning about games. I also download videos so i can watch it offline https://videopower.me/tips/category-videopower-red/the-faste...
